Cultists kill 300 level EKSU Student

A third year
student of Banking and Finance of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Ojo Segun,
was on Monday night hacked to death by people suspected to be cultists, Owojela's Blog learnt.

The attack
occurred around 7.30 pm at Osekita, an off-campus residence of students in
Iworoko-Ekiti.

The victim
was shot several times before he was hacked to death, while his body was left
by the roadside.

The
situation triggered tension in the town populated by students.

A student,
who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Media that the incident
occurred at about 7.30pm.

“We began to
hear the gunshots and pandemonium followed. What we learnt was that the
victim’s attackers laid an ambush for him.
His assailants caught up with him and shot him after which they used
machete to inflict cuts on his head. We are now living in fear because there
may be a reprisal.”

When
contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ekiti, Mr. Alberto Adeyemi, a
Superintendent of Police, said the deceased was caught in a clash of rival
cultists.

“Our men got
wind of the clash but by the time they got there, they had hacked him to death
with machete,” he added.

Adeyemi said
the police had launched investigation into the killing, promising that the
culprits would soon be arrested.

Meanwhile,
the management of EKSU has said a thorough investigation is being carried out
by its security outfit and the Police to unravel the killers.

A statement
by the Acting Director, Information and Corporate Affairs, Mr. Ajibade
Olubunmi, said the late Ojo was killed by two gunmen in a saloon where he used
to be a hair stylist.

According to
the statement, the Chief Security Officer of EKSU, Captain Augustine Ajayi
(retd.), revealed the victim was shot at a close range.

Meanwhile,
the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Samuel Oye-Bandele, has expressed sympathy on the loss
of life and advised students to remain calm.

No fewer than 31 Palestinians have been
wounded in clashes in the Gaza Strip and across the occupied West Bank, during
protests against US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as
Israel's capital.

Back in
late-2015, the Federal Aviation Administration introduced new rules requiring
owners of small drones to submit their devices to a database and attach a
registration code to the side of the product. In May of this year, a judge in
the D.C. Circuit shot the rule down, and the FAA began the process of returning
the $5 registration fee.

When the bars close or a game or concert ends,
Uber's surge pricing can be astonishing. You might have your own horror
stories, but they probably don't compare to that of a Toronto rider who claimed
he was charged over $18,500 Canadian (about $14,400 USD) for a 20-minute ride,
as reported by The Comeback.

Storify’s eventual shuttering has been a long
time coming. The social timeline curation service was acquired by commenting
platform Livefyre back in 2013, which, in turn, was picked up by Adobe in May
of last year, Owojea’s Blog learnt.
